Maintenance & Inspection
Maintenance and inspection are fundamental activities in the management, operation, and optimization of building systems, infrastructure, and equipment. These processes ensure reliability, performance, and compliance with regulatory standards, safety requirements, and operational objectives. Understanding the distinctions and interdependencies between maintenance and inspection is essential for implementing effective maintenance programs and ensuring the longevity, efficiency, and safety of building assets.
Maintenance
Routine & Preventive Maintenance
Involves scheduled inspections, cleaning, lubrication, adjustments, and component replacements to prevent potential failures, extend equipment lifespan, and maintain optimal performance.

Predictive Maintenance
Utilizes advanced monitoring tools, sensors, and diagnostic techniques to assess equipment condition, predict potential failures, and schedule maintenance activities proactively.
Documentation & Record-Keeping
Maintains comprehensive records, maintenance logs, inspection reports, and equipment histories to track maintenance activities & support ongoing management and optimization of building assets.
Inspection
Regular & Periodic Inspections: Involves systematic examinations, visual assessments, and performance evaluations of building systems, components, and infrastructure to verify compliance with standards, identify deficiencies, and assess operational integrity.
Safety Inspections: Focuses on evaluating safety systems, emergency equipment, fire protection systems, and other critical infrastructure elements to verify functionality, compliance, and readiness to respond to emergencies or hazards.
Compliance & Regulatory Inspections: Addresses specific regulatory requirements, code compliance, and industry standards applicable to building systems, equipment, and operational practices.
Documentation & Reporting: Generates detailed inspection reports, compliance documentation, deficiency summaries, and corrective action plans to communicate findings, recommendations, and follow-up actions to stakeholders, management, or regulatory authorities.
